Prompt emission spectra from the photosphere of a GRB
I explore the observational appearance of the photosphere of an ultrarelativistic flow with internal dissipation of energy (“dissipative” GRB model). As a case study, I use the magnetic reconnection model (AC model) that makes robust predictions on the energy dissipation rates at different radii in the flow. With analytical and numerical tools for the radiative transfer problem, I show that the...
متن کاملSwift measure GRB prompt emission radii ?
The Swift X-Ray Telescope often observes a rapidly decaying X-ray emission stretching to as long as t ∼ 10 3 seconds after a conventional prompt phase. This component is most likely due to a prompt emission viewed at large observer angles θ > 1/Γ, where θ ∼ 0.1 is a typical viewing angle of the jet and Γ ≥ 100 is the Lorentz factor of the flow during the prompt phase. This can be used to estima...
متن کاملPrompt GRB emission from gradual energy dissipation
I calculate the emission expected from a Poynting-flux-dominated gamma-ray burst (GRB) flow in which energy is dissipated gradually by magnetic reconnection. In this picture, the energy of the radiating particles is determined by heating and cooling balance (slow heating model). Detailed radiative transfer calculations show that, at Thomson optical depths of order of unity, the dominant radiati...
متن کاملThe Theory of Spectral Evolution of the Grb Prompt Emission
We develop the theory of jitter radiation from GRB shocks containing small-scale magnetic fields and propagating at an angle with respect to the line of sight. We demonstrate that the spectra vary considerably: the low-energy photon index, α, ranges from 0 to −1 as the apparent viewing angle goes from 0 to π/2. Thus, we interpret the hard-to-soft evolution and the correlation of α with the phot...
متن کاملThe prompt emission & peculiar break of GRB 060124
— Our multi-wavelength analysis of GRB 060124 shows the unusual behaviour of the decaying lightcurve as well as supporting the recently proposed phenomenon of long-lasting central engine activity. The prompt X-ray emission displays uncommonly well resolved flaring behaviour, with spectral evolution – indicative of central engine activity – which allows us to estimate the energy injection time f...
